     The Daily Fire Weather Discussion has ended for the 2025 Fire Season. It will only be updated as conditions warrant.

Aviation discussion as of 4:30 p.m. PST Monday, February 9, 2026 valid through 10:00 p.m. PST Tuesday, February 10, 2026: 

     MVFR ceilings will likely begin to scatter out with a period of VFR conditions early overnight before stratus and fog likely develops bringing a return of MVFR to IFR conditions. These will likely last through mid to late morning Tuesday before lifting to a VFR stratocumulus deck with bases near 6000 feet ASL. Winds will be light although some LLWS will be possible overnight as ridge top winds will blow from the west at 10 to 20 mph.
